I predict Uruguay will do this, it will be seen as a success, and it will be adopted by other South American countries. In the process of this occurring it will become tied up with the movement of Latin America out from under U.S. influence. And the impetus, the offense, that has set this on fire was America's stopping President Morales' plane. That event, so badly bungled, was an offense of honor that will not be forgotten.

The Financial System Doesn't Just Enable Theft, It Is Theft

It's not just inflation that is theft.

Charles Hugh Smith

Of Two Minds, 31 July 2013

It is painfully self-evident that our financial system doesn't just enable theft, it is theft by nature and design. If you doubt this, please follow along.Inflation is theft, but we accept inflation because we've been persuaded it benefits us. Here's the basic story: our financial system creates new credit money (i.e. debt) in quantities that are only limited by the appetites of borrowers and the value of assets they buy with freshly borrowed money.

(1) Saw this on CNN this afternoon; (2) through my own personal set of lenses, I see this as more likely than not to be true in virtually every detail.)

Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack

CNN has uncovered exclusive new information about what is allegedly happening at the CIA, in the wake of the deadly Benghazi terror attack.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.

Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.

CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency's Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.

Read: Analysis: CIA role in Benghazi underreported

Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings.

Family Visited By Cops After Googling Pressure Cookers, Backpacks: Report

Melissa Jeitsen

The Huffington Post, 08/01/2013

According to one family, a confluence of run-of-the-mill Google searches led to an unwelcome visit by police.

Michele Catalano, a professional writer, describes what happened in a blog post on Thursday. According to her retelling, on Wednesday morning, six men identifying themselves as being from a “joint terrorism task force” showed up at her Long Island home. She believes Google searches by herself, her husband and her son raised red flags.

Little Greenies: Proof that Kids are Environmentalists

We are born with a natural concern for the environment—even if we don't always hang onto it

EXTRACT:

To test where living things, particularly plants, fall on this do-no-harm spectrum, Training College researcher José Domingo Villaroel assembled a sample group of 118 boys and girls, ages 4 to 7, from local public schools. He started with the basics, showing the kids two sets of four pictures each—a dog, a tree a bird and a flower; and the sun, clouds, a car and a motorcycle—and asked which of them was alive and which not. That, as it turned out, was a trickier question than it would seem. The youngest kids particularly would often exclude the tree from the living things category but include the car or the motorcycle. Self-locomotion, it seemed, was the defining quality here.
